German act Elephant Wknd has recently revealed their thrilling new single, "So Much Closer". The single is lifted off their latest EP, "II", and really captures the listener from the outset.
It's a rush of fast-paced drum fills and crunching guitar lines lifted right out of Alt-Rock anthem back in the early '00s. Vocally they're rather dark, with strong comparisons drawn against the likes of Interpol and even Pixies.
Considering this whole EP - including the new single - was recorded all in a weekend is a testament to how good this exciting trio is, and as a first single off the new release, we're certainly going to be giving it a spin once it's out.
The EP, "II", is out November 12th, 2021.
